HI
I have just had aqua panels fitted in a new shower area , which were then skimmed with plaster . I have just noticed that the skim has come away from the aqua panels why is this ? and what should I have done? ,
And seeing that the skim is quite thick in places does this mean that the hole lot has to come down?

There is no need to skim plasterboard before tiling if you are tiling the whole wall. If anything skimming it reduces your options for weight of tiles + addy + grout. If you are part tiling then yes skim the plasterboard and for the wet area you can tank the skimmed plasterboard.
